Melanonychia
Melanonychia is very common nail diorder. Melanonychia produces a solitary dark band in the nail. This condition occurs most commonly in Blacks and Asians. When it is seen in Caucasians, there is an increased chance of it representing a malignant process. Melanonychia may reflect a mole or nevus involving the nail matrix, or origin of the nail. However, it may be caused by a melanoma, particularly in Caucasians.
